Dear ACAC & AVTTS members.
I have been, and will continue to, encourage and support you as you educate us as to what we can best focus on to make strides toward saving our planet !
As you may know, April 2010 I purchased and repurposed a century old former church into my home, a 3 bedroom hostel and a 150 seat community meeting space. During this time I hired mostly local and recycled everything I could (including 23 interior doors & frames). I continue to work very hard to minimize my carbon footprint.
I believe the above addresses question 1. The rest of the questions are beyond my current understanding (and available time). However, if you know me, you will know that you can count on me to listen, become educated and defend passionately.
Thank you for all you do. We rest more peacefully knowing you are working behind the scenes on our behalf.
Best in Climate & Sustainability,
Char Patterson
